my pokemon player.

Ryan looked at Ash and Charizard who had the same determined eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

These were the Ash and Charizard he was familiar with.

In fact, among Ash's fire-attribute Pokémon, Ryan's favorites are Charizard and Charizard.

Their experiences are very similar. They were both abandoned by their previous owners and then tamed by Xiaozhi.

It’s just that the eldest brother has always been very obedient, while Charizard was a little rebellious when it first evolved.

But this cannot be blamed entirely on Charizard. Ash's command level in the early stages was indeed quite low.

Although he gained a reputation as a master of reverse-attribute Pokémon, his lack of knowledge about Pokémon was also exposed.

Charizard, who has always been strong-willed, naturally would not recognize Ash. Fortunately, Ash and Charizard have a deep bond, and Charizard has never forgotten their past memories.

Therefore, as long as Charizard can feel Xiaozhi's unwillingness to admit defeat, it will most likely obey Xiaozhi's command.

Of course, just one battle isn't enough to completely change Charizard.

After all, in the previous animation, Ash had the right time, place and people, and worked hard all night before he was able to convert Charizard.

Now that they are in Pallet Town, even if Charizard is defeated and injured, there is no need for Ash to heal it, and the effect will inevitably be weakened.

But it doesn't matter. If it doesn't work once, then try twice. Anyway, I won't be leaving for a while, so I'll have time to play with Charizard slowly.

Thinking of this, Ryan turned his gaze to the Charizard and said:
"Very good, now you are a strong man. However, determination alone is not enough, you still need strong strength."

"In order to give you a clear goal, I will show you Dragonite's true strength."

"Dragonite, stop playing around and use all your strength."

When Ryan said this, Xiaozhi's eyes widened immediately:
"What? Dragonite didn't use his full strength before?"

Xiaoxia, who was watching the fight, covered her mouth in surprise: "How is this possible!"

"It seems that Xiaozhi has encountered a very strong opponent." Xiaozhi's mother, who had arrived at some point, said with a smile.

Xiaoxia asked in confusion: "Auntie, aren't you worried that Xiaozhi will lose?"

"Don't worry, failure is not scary. Men are trained through repeated failures, just like Xiaozhi's father back then."

Hanako held her face with her hands and talked to Xiaoxia happily about Xiaozhi's father.

While the two were talking, the battle on the field was decided.

Dragonite refused to give in and used [Super Speed] again, this time even faster than before.

Before the Charizard could react, it was knocked away.

Dragonite took advantage of the victory and flapped its two small wings to catch up with the upside-down Charizard.

"Hooo!"

It stretched out its dragon claws filled with electricity and smashed hard at the Charizard.

Charizard knew he couldn't dodge, so he crossed his arms in front of his chest, trying to block it a little.

However, Dragonite's [Thunder Fist] is extremely powerful, and has some restraining attributes, so Charizard cannot resist it.

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, Charizard was knocked to the ground by Dragonite's punch, creating a shallow pit and raising a cloud of dust.

"Charizard!"

Xiaozhi shouted anxiously, worry written all over his face.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and everyone's attention was focused on the field.

I saw Charizard lying on the ground, having already fainted.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang loudly announced the result of the battle:

"Charizard lost its ability to fight, Dragonite won, so the winner of this battle is Ryan!"

When the players heard that Ryan won, they cheered instantly.

"Lord Ryan is awesome!"

"I knew Dragonite would win!"

"I always feel that Dragonite has become weaker. It took so long to defeat Charizard."

"First, Xiaozhi's Charizard is not weak. At least it's easy for him to beat a few of us. Second, you know Moon Viewing Lake? The water in the lake is not as much as the water Dragonite put in this battle."

The players watching the game off the field were talking about it, and the two players fighting on the field had different emotions.

Ryan's heart was filled with joy of fulfilling his childhood dream, while Xiaozhi was both surprised and disappointed.

The surprising thing is that Charizard is no longer as self-willed as before, and the attitude towards him is also showing a trend of changing.

What made him disappointed was that he failed to command Charizard to win this battle. Including the battle with Xiaoyan, he had already lost two Pokémon battles in less than three days.

The only gym battle they won was against Team Rocket, so there's nothing to be proud of. (Team Rocket trio:???)

Although Xiaozhi is determined and will not give up, he still feels a little frustrated.

He took out the Poké Ball, took back the Charizard, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Charizard, I'm holding you back."

"Do you also think you are a burden to Charizard?"

Ryan brought Dragonite to Xiaozhi and looked down at him.

"If you don't trust yourself, how can Charizard trust you?"

Xiaozhi clenched the Poké Ball in his hand and said dejectedly:

"But my trainer level is very low, and I lose more than I win in Pokémon battles. Am I really qualified to participate in the Quartz Conference?"

Ryan reached out and opened Xiaozhi's coat, pointed at the eight gym badges inside and said:
"You have earned these eight badges yourself. You are certainly qualified to participate in the Quartz Conference."

"but I."

As soon as Xiaozhi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ryan.

"You know, when I was your age, I couldn't even touch Pokémon."

"Is this true?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

He couldn't believe that such a powerful Ryan was afraid to touch Pokémon when he was a child.

Ryan shrugged: "I don't need to lie to you. Xiaoyan and the others should have told you that the perception of Pokémon in our era was very bad. It was normal that I didn't dare to touch Pokémon when I was a child."

"So you don't need to be discouraged. How old are you? You have already obtained eight gym badges and participated in the Quartz Conference. You are already one of the best trainers."

In fact, Ryan had just started learning Pokémon, and his time might have been even shorter than that of Ash, but his strength had already improved by leaps and bounds.

But Ryan would not tell Xiaozhi this.

After hearing Ryan's praise, Xiaozhi pointed at himself in disbelief:
"I am the best in the training family?"

"That's right, I'm very good at judging people. You have great potential. You will definitely be able to realize your dream and become the world's number one Pokémon master!"

Ryan said with certainty, because he had seen that scene.

Xiaozhi looked at Ryan with a sincere face, and the loss in his heart disappeared, replaced by full of joy.

He didn't expect Ryan to recognize him so much, which touched him deeply. If Xiaozhi was really an NPC in the game, then Ryan's two sentences almost made Xiaozhi's favorability go through the roof.

"Can I really do this?"

Xiaozhi confirmed with Ryan again, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course." Ryan responded with a smile.

However, in order to prevent Xiaozhi from becoming complacent, Ryan added:
"The prerequisite is that you must train persistently and develop your full potential, otherwise you will only stay where you are."

Xiaozhi nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I understand, I will definitely work hard!"

Looking at Xiaozhi's excited expression, Ryan felt relieved.

He was frightened by the dejected Xiaozhi just now. Although he knew that Xiaozhi would not give up easily, there is always a chance of something happening.

If Xiaozhi's faith is shattered by his beating, then he will not be making up for his regrets, but will only add to his own regrets.

Fortunately, Xiaozhi lived up to the name of Master Zhi and was truly indomitable.

"I'm overthinking it. Xiaozhi has lost so many times and failed in six tournaments in a row, but he never gave up easily. How could he collapse mentally because of a battle?"

Ryan looked at Xiaozhi who was running towards his friends and mother with a smile on his face, and a smile also appeared on his face.

"What are you laughing at? There's nothing to be happy about after beating a kid."

The pink onion-head came over and said with disdain.

It still couldn't understand why Ryan would waste time fighting a child.

“You don’t understand, this is all my youth.” Ryan sighed.

Celebi shook his antennae and said, "You are so young, why are you reminiscing about your youth? Hurry up and find that doctor and save my people."

"Okay, I'll let them lead the way."

Ryan didn't want to waste any more time and walked quickly towards Xiaozhi and the others.

When he came behind Xiaozhi and his group, the sound of their conversation could be heard.

"In the end, it was actually Xiaozhi's mother who captured the Magic Wall Doll. Xiaozhi, your efforts were in vain."

"So, of the two magic wall puppets we encountered, one was captured by Xiaozhi's mother, and the other blue and white one was captured by Xiaoyan. Xiaozhi, you still got nothing."

"Hmph, if I can't conquer him, then so be it. I've already gained a lot today."

"Yeah, Ash and Charizard's relationship has gotten a lot better, thanks to Lord Ryan."

Ryan was not surprised to hear that Xiaogang had guessed his intention.

Xiaogang is a thoughtful person and he didn't try to hide it, so it's not surprising that he could guess it.

But what about the blue and white Magic Wall Doll? Is it a different-colored Pokémon?

That's not right. The different-colored magic wall doll is green, which has nothing to do with blue.

unless
Ryan then turned to Chen Yan and said, "Have you subdued the magic wall puppet?"

"Yes, Lord, what do you want?"

Chen Yan asked doubtfully. He didn't understand why Ryan was interested in a magic wall doll.

Although heterochromatic Pokémon are very rare, doesn't Ryan himself have a heterochromatic Gardevoir?

"Can you let it out so I can see?" Ryan wanted to verify his guess.

When Chen Yan heard Ryan's request, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed an indecisive expression.

Ryan saw that he was a little entangled, and couldn't help asking: "What? Is there a problem?"

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "My Lord, the way I subdued the magic wall puppet was not very glorious, so..."

He didn't finish his words, but Ryan understood what he meant.

"Another righteous gang fight?"

Ryan looked at the silent Chen Yan, feeling a little amused.

It's really like the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. He likes to gang up on his opponents and the other players follow suit.

However, compared to cheating and deceiving, capturing Pokémon through group fighting does not violate the ban. You just need to get the Pokémon's recognition after capturing it.

The reason why Chen Yan hesitated was probably because he was afraid of losing Ryan's favor.

But Ryan himself likes group fights, so naturally he wouldn't blame Chen Yan.

So Ryan spoke to comfort him: "Don't be nervous, as long as you can get the recognition of the magic wall puppet and don't force it to fight for you, I won't punish you, let it out first."

"As ordered!"

Chen Yan finally felt relieved. He quickly took out the Poké Ball and released the Magic Wall Doll.

As the Poké Ball opened, a blue and white magic wall doll appeared in front of everyone.

Ryan couldn't help but frowned as he looked at this magic wall doll, which had a black nose, ears shaped like icicles, and a blue ice crystal-like object decorated on its chest compared to the ordinary magic wall doll.

Wow, it really is the Magic Wall Doll from the Galar region.

The Kanto region is not close to the Galar region, where did this magic wall puppet come from? !
-
Just as Ryan was thinking about the origin of the Galar Magic Wall Doll, Mewtwo was still sleeping in the laboratory of Team Rocket's headquarters.

It used to only sleep for a few hours, but this time it slept for two full days. After the researchers discovered this, they immediately began to monitor Mewtwo's mental fluctuations and report the news to Sakaki who was out.

After receiving the news, Sakaki gave up the action without hesitation and rushed back to headquarters by helicopter.

As soon as he landed, he hurried to the laboratory and asked the researchers in a deep voice:
"Mewtwo hasn't woken up yet?"

A researcher answered cautiously: "Not yet, but its mental fluctuations are gradually increasing, and it should wake up soon."

"Mental fluctuations? Could it be that it dreamed about something again?"

"We don't know about this either. Mewtwo is a Pokémon created using Mew's genes, so it might have a connection with Mew."

"Maybe? I don't want speculation, I want a conclusion!"

Sakaki looked very dissatisfied, and his slightly narrowed eyes revealed a heavy sense of oppression.

The researcher shuddered, swallowed subconsciously, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Mewtwo was created by researchers led by Dr. Fuji, but they are now missing and there is not much research data left. We can only study it from scratch, so we don't know much about Mewtwo."

After listening to the researcher's explanation, Sakaki turned his attention back to the sleeping Mewtwo.

The last time Mewtwo got angry, it destroyed the laboratory where it was created.

He was only concerned with taking Mewtwo away and did not look for Dr. Fuji.

When he sent people back to the laboratory, Dr. Fuji had disappeared, and even Team Rocket hadn't received any news from Dr. Fuji since then.

It is not known whether he died in the explosion or changed his identity and did not want to be found by Team Rocket again.

Whatever the reason, Dr. Fuji will never be able to return to Team Rocket, and Mewtwo's research has also been affected.

The laboratory has had a succession of researchers, and now these researchers are considered outstanding, so Sakaki did not blame them.

"Mewtwo, what on earth did you dream about?"

Sakaki muttered to himself, feeling a little uneasy. (End of this chapter)
